***Scarlett*** He found out, so I had no choice but to tell him. Left to me, if he never found the necklace and a picture of me wearing it I would have buried the truth. I liked that Bryan still cherished that little girl. I wasn't that girl anymore. For all I know, he hates me. Bryan placed the necklace and the picture on the sofa next to me. "That's the document," he whispered. He turned to Lois and Curtis. "I'm sorry I acted wild." He walked out with a limp. His friends obviously were speechless from what had just transpired between me and Bryan. Max was the one to leave after him. "Bryan. Wait up." Lois came to me and pulled me in an embrace. "This is so messed up, Scarlett." "I know. I never wanted him to know I was that girl he met. Why does my path and his cross in the most cruel way." A hand rubbed my shoulder. I didn't have to turn to know that they were Curtis's hand. He was trying to console me. He rubbed my shoulder for a few more seconds before walkin
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 49: Pack War
***Bryan***"What?" I jerked my feet away from the table I had stretched them on. "What do you mean a fight broke out at the bar?""Activities were going on as usual. Everything was okay at first." Cary, one of our pack members explained. "Alpha Evans came asking questions about you. No one told him anything, so he got mad and destroyed the furniture and drinks. He had customers running out of there. As we speak there's a fight going on at the bar.""Where's Beta Jensen?" "I think I saw him few minutes—"Speak of the devil and he appears. Jensen walked to meet me in the common room."Bryan, do you know there's—""Cary just told me," I muttered, not allowing him to complete his sentence. "Is he crazy? That's one of Alpha Westby’s bars. Why would he go on a rampage? That guy is going crazy." Jensen's brow crooked. "Are you sure the death of his wife hasn't made him insane?" "He was asking for Bryan. He said if no one tells him where Bryan is, he was going to destroy the place?" Je
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 50: Hopeful
***Scarlett*** Everything looks peaceful from here. The outside of the bar was quiet. No one would know anything was going on inside. I lay down lower at the back seat trying to see what was happening from Lois' car. She had refused to take me with her at first. But I was too persistent. I wanted to go by all means. My heart jumped right out of my mouth when Lois said a fight had broken out at a bar that belonged to the Mo pack because of Evans. Lois had ran in there not up to ten minutes ago and surprisingly, Evans was already out of there. He was untouched except for his men who got roughed up and a few had visible tears on their clothes. On seeing Evans, the horror of that night begins to seep into my mind once again. It was like reliving the experience all over again. I wasn't comfortable until Evans drove away from the vicinity with his men. I waited for several more minutes in the car. I wasn't complaining because I could stare at Bryan all I wanted. My feelings for
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 51: Mixed Emotions
***Bryan***Staying away from Scarlett was the hardest thing ever. I almost hugged her when it became glaring that she is truly Debby. But I had mixed emotions. Fate wasn't fair to me. The stronger the attraction I feel for Scarlett, the more I see reasons why we can't be together. My mixed reaction was the reason why I left the night she told me who she was. I didn't know how to react. Since the kiss at the hotel, I've been wanting to kiss her again. I never got another chance until now. I kissed her to answer her question. That kiss represents how much I wanted her and how I can't bring myself to kill her despite being the daughter of an enemy. How I feel about her hasn't changed one. It hurts that Scarlett is tied to the ugly side of my story. A girl who I taught to be an angel and a life saver turned out to be the daughter of a man I've dreamed of killing all my life. "Hey? Bryan." Max tapped me."Hey." I quickly said after regaining my thought. I looked up at him from where

***Scarlett***Lois had seen when Bryan kissed me. I didn't have an explanation to give her. She was curious to know what Bryan meant by that kiss too. I told her I was as lost as she is. She told me she was curious to know because Ingrid who Bryan would be getting married to was her close friend too. So knowing Bryan's next step in this situation was vital. I had to tell her I wasn't going to ruin any body's relationship because I'll be selfish to want Bryan for myself after what my father had done to him. We were in the middle of having this conversation when she got a text that there was an emergency meeting. She quickly grabbed her things to head to the venue, promising that we would continue our discussion when she gets back. It's 3:00 am in the morning. She wasn't back yet and neither is she picking her call. I went back to bed. I decided I was going to call Curtis tomorrow as soon as I wake up if she's not back yet. My alarm for 6:00 am woke me up. After stretching my bod

***Bryan***Anna took me by surprise when she knelt down. "I don't believe everyone in your pack to be innocent." I whispered. "I didn't care about that when I began hunting them or you. Scarlett, don't think I never tried to kill you. I did. I was just this close." I point at a short distance in height between my index finger and middle finger. "I only didn't because there was a way I felt whenever I saw you."She looked at me, her eyes began to get wet from holding back tears. "I won't deny not feeling anything for you when you came to work for me. I think I was so unhappy in my marriage and sad that things were still bad for my pack that I saw you as a breath of fresh air once we met. I couldn't help but trust you. That was why when I was attacked on my way from the Port, you were the first that came to my heart and mind. I felt I could be safe with you."It's funny how Scarlett and I are telling ourselves how we felt when we first met each other."Get up. You have already gon
The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back Chapter 54: Pack Loyalty
***Scarlett***We both set out when it got dark. I was relieved that Bryan listened to me.We were parked outside of the Anderson packhouse. "What did you say his name is?" Bryan asked. "Sterling. He is the beta of my pack. Although Evans sidelined him and made Holm carry responsibility as beta of the two packs." "OK. Stay low. I'll go and get him." Bryan stepped out of the car, then turned around. "Hope you're sure he can be trusted?"I nodded. Bryan began to walk towards the house. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Sterling walking back with Bryan. Bryan opened the back door of his car and Sterling slipped into the backseat, his eyes widened in shock. "Luna! This can't be real." His hands reach out to me to touch me. I smiled, his reaction was priceless. "Sterling, it's me. I'm alive. It's nice to see you." He grinned. "Goodness, I didn't believe this young man here when he told me you're alive.""Why did you follow him back here then?" I asked sterling. "I wanted to

***Bryan***"I almost thought you weren't going to make it." Ingrid whined upon seeing me. I walked up to her "Sorry I'm late. I had something important to attend to.""It's okay. You're here now." She smiled. "Have you heard anything about Lois? I'm worried that Evans would hurt her." "We are doing all we can to get her back. Be rest assured she'll be back home soon."I try to calm her down. Lois and Ingrid were very close friends. Even though I had no idea how we were going to get Lois yet, I still had to appear like I had everything under control. "That's a relief." She sighed."Why did you call me telling me you wanted to see me?" I asked, staring at her from where she sat. Ingrid wasn't living with her parents, she wanted to live in the packhouse because she's got a lot of friends here. "Firstly, it's because I was worried about Lois. I wanted an update," She muttered. "Secondly, it's because I wanted to thank you." She rose from her seat and she moved to where I sat. "Oh… t
